NORTH CANAAN — The Greater Hartford Association of Realtors has named Wendy Eichman, broker with Raynard & Peirce Realty, the recipient of the 2025 GHAR Good Neighbor Award.

The award recognizes a realtor who has made an extraordinary impact on their community through their volunteer time and talents.
